GPB FS has one licence on record with Wikilix, issued by one authority across one jurisdiction. One of them was issued by a tier-1 or tier-2 authority — the regimes with the strictest capital, reporting and client-money rules. None has yet been located on an issuing authority’s own register, so every entry here should be read as claimed rather than confirmed.
The registers print these licences under GPB-FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED. Searching a register for the trading brand alone may return nothing — use the name above.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about the licences held by GPB FS
Answered from the register entries on this page.
Most Popular Questions
Yes, and the company itself warns about it. A notice at the top of its homepage states that GPB-Financial Services Ltd at gpbfs.com.cy has no connection or affiliation with GPB Financial Services Europe or any other company or site with a similar name, and accepts no responsibility for them. Confirm you are dealing with the Limassol entity holding licence 113/10 before sending money or documents.
The operating company has existed since 24 February 2009, when GPB-Financial Services Limited was registered in Cyprus, and it has held its investment-firm licence since January 2010. That gives it more than fifteen years of documented corporate history, confirmed against the Cyprus company registry.
The company publishes a Client Complaints Handling Policy and a compliance department contact, and as a Cyprus investment firm it falls within the remit of the Cyprus Financial Ombudsman and, in defined circumstances, the Investor Compensation Fund. Read the Terms of Business and Client Agreement before signing, since the complaint and compensation route depends on your MiFID categorisation.
By department, using the numbers and addresses on its contacts page: the brokerage desk on brokerage@gpbfs.com.cy and +357 25 055 109, the back office on Backoffice@gpbfs.com.cy and +357 25 055 106, and compliance on compliance@gpbfs.com.cy and +357 25 055 119. The switchboard is +357 25 055 000 and the office is at Crystalserve Business Center, 65 Spyrou Kyprianou Avenue, Limassol. There is no live chat.
Its own Cross Border disclosure names 28 European states plus the Russian Federation and Switzerland for underwriting and placing services. The company publishes no list of restricted countries, and it states that it does not market, maintain a presence or solicit clients in third countries, so services outside that list are provided only at a client's own initiative.
The company lists reception and transmission of orders, order execution on behalf of clients, dealing on own account, underwriting and the placing of financial instruments, plus ancillary services covering custody, credit against instruments, corporate advisory, and foreign exchange linked to investment services. Its cross-border passport for underwriting and placing extends to a defined list of European states and, outside the EEA, to the Russian Federation and Switzerland.
No deposit or withdrawal channels are published. The website carries no funding page, no payment method list and no processing times or limits, so funding arrangements are settled with the back office during onboarding.
The company publishes no leverage, spread or commission schedule. Since it does not sell retail margin trading accounts, there is no advertised pricing table to compare, and costs are agreed as part of the client documentation.
None are published. The company advertises no MetaTrader, cTrader or proprietary platform, and no download links appear anywhere on its website. Business is transacted through its brokerage desk rather than through a self-service terminal.
No. The Become a Client page states plainly that GPB FS offers services only to professional clients. Onboarding covers regulated legal entities, non-regulated legal entities and private individual clients, but each is categorised under MiFID after due diligence, and the service is not aimed at retail traders.
The company does not publish a minimum deposit. It has no retail account tiers, and commercial terms are set individually after onboarding, so the figure can only be established through the brokerage or compliance department.
No evidence in our research points to a scam. The operating company is registered and active on the Cyprus Registrar of Companies under number HE 246301, its address and Legal Entity Identifier match its published details, and its licence number and legal name are consistent everywhere they appear. The material questions concern suitability and group ownership, not authenticity.
The company states on its own About page that it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gazprombank (JSC) and a member of the Gazprombank Group. That parent is a Russian bank, and the company's stated purpose includes providing access to the Russian capital markets alongside global markets.
GPB FS has one licence record with Wikilix, issued by one authority across one jurisdiction. A licence on record means an authority published an entry; it is not an endorsement, and Wikilix does not issue authorisations.
GPB FS holds licence records issued by CySEC. Each authority’s own record — its tier, jurisdiction and client-protection rules — is linked from this page.
One of the licence records held by GPB FS comes from tier-1 or tier-2 authorities (0 tier-1, 1 tier-2). Those regimes set the strictest capital, reporting and client-money requirements.
Not yet. None of the one licence record held by GPB FS has been located on an issuing authority’s register, so each should be read as claimed rather than confirmed. Every record links to the official register so you can check it yourself.
The registers print them under GPB-FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED. A licence is often held by a subsidiary rather than the trading brand, which is why searching a register for the brand name alone can return nothing.
GPB FS has licence records in Cyprus. A licence applies in the jurisdiction that issued it; it does not by itself cover clients elsewhere.
